The Yolo County Law Library mission is to provide free, public access to the best collection of legal resources within its means; to provide an organized, safe and quiet environment for patrons and staff, conducive to legal study; to strive to continuously improve services and programming; and to create mutually beneficial and responsive relationships with the community of users.
The Law Library is small-to-medium-sized with the following resources: over 15,500 volumes, access to online legal databases, and practical and general legal reference material for attorneys and lay patrons. There is a deposit requirement for checking out select books and materials to take home. Patrons are also welcome to call or email the law library for assistance in finding information. The Law Library is a self-help resource and library staff may provide help in finding legal information and information on Yolo County Bar members, but under no circumstances give legal advice. Legal advice and legal practice by staff would be contrary to the interest of those seeking assistance and it is against the law.
